    I know some people were critical of the Heatley-Hossa trade saying Hossa was a better player, but I always thought that trade was a great one for Ottawa. (Sorry if this is sounding like a "I told you so" rant.) Hossa is probably more talented and more of a pure scorer than Heatley, but the talent drop off isn't that bad. Plus Heatley gives you an energy and spit and gravel mentality that someone like an Iginla gives you. And that was something Ottawa has lacked in the last few years. That and they had Patrick Lalime.

    The goalie situation hasn't gotten too much better since, tho.

    Probably not. But they had Ron Tugnutt. And anytime you have someone named Ron Tugnutt, life is good.

    Don't get into a goalie battle with me at 5 a.m. my friend. It won't end well.  ;)

    Now, Wamsley was decent. Can you say the same for Michel Dion, huh, huh?
